Seriously, how do you do this?

How do you introduce yourself as Mr. Jesus Christ while keeping a straight face? How do you deal with the comments that are sure to follow? How the hell do you get a judge to agree to this when I know for a fact you can't get your name legally changed to, for example, Empress of the Universe? I'd really like to know.

Christ (literally...)

To me, its perfectly clear that he shouldn't have been granted the name in the first place. As you mentioned above, you can't take a title. Christ was not Jesus' middle name, for His sake! (I know there are thousands who would believe otherwise.) Christ translated from its original Greek means "the Anointed One." So this guy is saying he's Jesus, the Anointed One.

I do have an uncle named Christ, though. But it's not pronounced as in "Jesus Christ", it's Chris-t.

It's a Greek thing.
